Married For Convenience Novels & Stories

“Your marriage is fake! Oh my goodness! I can't believe this is really happening. Someone should pinch me so that I can at least wake up from this unbelievable dream!” Liam gazed at his wristwatch and he murmured some words on his lips. “A marriage of convenience. We are just married on paper, and it's for mutual benefit. So there's no way she's getting out of it unless I say so!” His possessiveness is always evident. I was so disgusted as those words echoed in my ears. I glared at him with a burning and reproachful eye as my temper flared. I clenched my teeth as I swallowed hard. William turned his gaze as he couldn't believe the whole fiasco happening.

I asked, “This isn’t how people getting married. So many marriages fail despite the couple being in love-” “Who said anything about making this work?” He frowned as though I had introduced an entirely foreign issue to our current conversation, which I later realised that I had. “This is a marriage of convenience. When we reach a point where we can’t stand eachother anymore, we take a divorce and go separate ways.” I was well aware of him and how he worked. I knew that he meant every single word he said and that he wouldn’t hesistate before making it all come true.

He looked at them silently for a moment before saying anything. He shook his head and said, “I generally avoid reading tabloids.” “However, this morning, I decided to do something different.” Alexander gave a single nod, showing no sign of worry. “We saw the article.” “It presents a most interesting image,” Harold told them. “One of a rushed marriage. A sudden romance. A young lady struggling to make ends meet, and a billionaire who needs to keep up his reputation.” He turned to Aria. “Tell me something, Mrs. Blackwood. Do you feel that you are in love with your husband?”

Gwen listened intently to every word her husband said. He spoke about his conflicts with his grandfather and issues with the family business. Gwen, curious, decided to ask about something else. “Did you ever talk about your sadness over losing her here?” “I knew you’d ask that,” Dominic replied. “Of course, I talked about our fights, and even when I was heartbroken over our breakup. But no matter how much I talked about it, the pain never went away, so I eventually stopped. That’s why I brought you here today, as if to announce that I’ve won and moved on—I’m married now.”

That familiar feeling of always being the last to know the important things. "I don't know if it's that simple," I murmured, staring down at my hands. "What do you mean?" "I don't even know what we are," I confessed, all the insecurities I'd been holding back spilling out at once. "I mean, we only got married because of a contract. I don't know if what I'm feeling is real or if it's just… convenience." Annie looked at me gently. "But you're clearly attracted to each other. You're sleeping together…"

After a pause, she repeated, “Only a marriage of convenience can solve our problems and save the stock market.” Mr. Green gaped, his expression unreadable. Previously, he had pushed for Avery to get married, hoping she would have a happy family to return to and be able to live the remainder of her life peacefully. However, she had rebutted him with her talk of dreams, purpose, and the future. Although it was surprising that she brought up a marriage of convenience on her own, that was not what Mr. Green wanted. He had never thought of exchanging his daughter’s happiness for his own gain.

Their arrangement was simple: maintain the facade of a loving couple for a year, with each of them pursuing their personal goals. “Kate! You’re glowing!” Jasmine’s voice broke through her thoughts as she entered the coffee shop, excitement radiating from her. “Tell me everything! How’s married life treating you?” Kate’s heart raced. She had managed to keep it from her friend that this was a contract marriage, but now, faced with Jasmine’s eager eyes, the truth felt like a boulder pressing down on her. “It’s… great! Really great!” she stammered, forcing a smile.

"Then why did you end up marrying Lily?" His hands tightened on the wheel, his knuckles paling. "It was a marriage of convenience." The words rang in my ears. "A marriage of convenience?" He nodded, sounding worn down. "Yes. Atkins Group nearly collapsed last year. The Burkes stepped in, but there were conditions. Under family pressure, I had no choice." I watched him in silence as the explanation sank in. Their wedding portrait made sense now, the closeness they showed, and the absence of anything truly alive beneath it.

I raised a brow at this, "a marriage contract." "What?" "Look, my grandfather wants you to get married to me, it would take down the scandals and everything else. Now, I don't want to get married to you so the contract states that the marriage would last for 3 years and we would get a divorce-" I interrupted. "Wait, you can't expect me to just get married to you, I just met you and I want no business with you." "Don't interrupt me when I'm speaking. Trust me, I feel the same way but when dealing with someone like my grandfather you've not got a choice, it's either this or you deal with the press."
